PILOT USES PARACHUTE. Aerial Defence Of Paris Invented By ' Pegoud. London, Sept. 28.--The successful methods employed in defending Paris from aerial attack; invented by the French aviator Pegoud, who met death in a mid-air duel, have. been made public. A zone of light has been created By medns of ground | flares, completely encircling the city, | and the air above is efficiently pa- {| trolled by tractor monoplanes. A ! German airship crossing the zone of | light is instantly attacked from above in the following manner: A French monoplane pilot enters a parachute attached to the tall boom of thé { monoplane. He then directs his machine with locked control so that ge a past court-martials have been functioning everywhere. Numer- ous Armenians have been hanged and 600,000 remained homeless or exil- ed out of a population of 1,500,000. "What has occurred "in a few months in Cilicia and Armenia," wrote Nubar Pasha, in transmitting the correspondence, "is unbelievable. The great massacres of Abdul Hamid | seem insignificant, compared to the) recent atrocities which are without precedent in the "history of our na- tion's nolirtyrology. It is nothing more or less than the annihilation of the whole people. But Armenia is so far away that scarcely any-| thing has 'been yet heard about this| frightful tragedy in Europe and Am- erica. A letter from the Constantinople source says that Armenians in all the cities and villages of the province of Cilicia have been deported en masse to the desert regions south of Alep- 0. "Moslems have occupied the lands and houses abandoned by Arme- nians," the letter reads. "The deported are nat allowed to carry with them anything. They have to travel on foot, distances re- quiring a month or two of walking in order to arrive at the desert as- others condemned to ten or fifteen years of hard labor. Even the churches and convents have been pil- laged and destroyed. Almost ali # the bishops have been arrested a delivered up to be .court-martialed.

London, Sept." 28.--The Times ml- litary correspondent says: "The last semi-official" notice which the press received of the strength of the Ger- mans in the west placed their num- bers at 1,800,00 men or thereabouts. There is no serious reason to dispute this figure, although some nine Ger: man divisions have been drafted to the east during the last few months. The places of most of these units have been taken by new formations from the interior, while considerable numbers of men have been added to others 'whose Strength early in the year had not been maintained. There are still some 94 Germans divisions in the western theatre. Most of the rman cavalry are In the east, but there is an inordinately large pro- hportion of heavy and machine guns in the west. ; "We must admit a possibility of a fresh transfer of German troops from the east to the west, but with " 700 miles for the Austro-Germans to * hold in the eagt, and with the Rus- sian armies still in position to fight well, the chances 'that the Germans will 'be able td undertake an offen- sive in the weat with success are not rosy. . "If not more than ¥1 divisions of the néw army mentioned by Lord Kitchener are now in France, then we must hope that 'our power of reinforcing our armies with new di- visions, as apart from the question of maintaining them for long in the field, is greater than the German power in the same sense. "We have a hard nut to crack, now that we have passed to the of- fensive. The ground in front of us is honeycombed with trenches. The Germans have all the best of the round. © The masses of German ops which came into Flanders in the autumn of 1914, are still for the greater part on our front.
